Simulated laughter is thus a relatively under-researched treatment modality with potential health benefits.
Yet, future studies are required to assess timing, modality and potential benefits of RRT in patients with HH complicated by AKI.
It was furthermore hypothesized that fracture complexity (number of fracture segments), involvement of the medial calcar region, patient age, treatment modality, and potential risk factors, i.e., diabetes mellitus, cigarette smoking, alcohol-abuse and osteoporosis, would be associated with higher revision and failure rates.
Cerebral hypoxia worsens long-term neurological outcomes, and this modality has potential to help reduce morbidity.
The purpose of our study was to survey nurses with different areas of expertise and to identify their attitudes and perceptions towards dialysis modality selection, potential patient barriers, and modality education.
Finally, when exploring whether or not to employ a specific diagnostic modality, the potential morbidity resulting from its use and its cost must be weighed against its diagnostic yield.
Surgery of colorectal liver metastases remains the best treatment modality for potential cure with a 5-year overall survival (OS) rate between 25%and40%0% [ 6- 8], but at present only 20%-3520%-35%l patients are suitable candidates for surgery [ 5].
Because of survey constraints, women were given little information on how the risk-stratified approach would work in practice, and no information on current breast screening approaches (screening modality, frequency, potential harms of breast cancer screening).
